A contractor doing recurring work in Lemont’s public right of way — utility, excavation, or paving cuts — can file one $50,000 blanket bond instead of a separate bond for every individual permit. Ours is $500 flat — the price you see at checkout is the price you pay. The application collects no credit information.
















A village blanket permit bond is among the simplest bonds we issue. Here is the whole process:
Business details and an effective date — that is the application. No financials, no credit section on this bond’s form.
Blanket bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your right-of-way permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The Village of Lemont conditions individual right-of-way permits on a surety filing, but lets a contractor with repeated right-of-way work — utility crews, paving contractors, excavators — file one $50,000 blanket bond that covers permits issued during the bond term instead of bonding each cut or excavation separately.
It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Lemont (the obligee). The bond guarantees permitted right-of-way work is restored to village standards — pavement, curb, and parkway repaired properly — so the Village isn’t left absorbing restoration costs.
It is not insurance for you. If the Village makes a valid claim for unrestored right-of-way work and the surety pays, you repay the surety. Keeping the blanket bond continuous lets you pull right-of-way permits without a new bond filing each time.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond doesn’t have one.
